I used a Circle #1 for the Original Sizzix machine to cut my circles. I can cut 5 charms at a time. I know there are several other companies that make die cutting machines (Accu-Cut) and templates (Omnigrid), if you do not have access to a Sizzix. As long as it is a 4 inch diameter circle it will work.
• cut 36 charm circles for the blocks
• cut 25 charm circles for the yo-yo’s

This quilt was custom by Jackie in CT. She quilted the swirls in the circle centers and meander around the yo-yo’s. The raw edges of the circles were NOT quilted to allow them to fray a bit for added dimension.

The quilt will be square 47″ X 47″.

• Next take a 5 inch acrylic Omnigrid circle template and line the curve with the corner of the border.

• Using a rotary cutter trim the point off the quilt.

Make bias binding with your favorite method and sew to quilt. Make sure to ease binding around the corners.
A quilt about 47 X 47 inches.

I do remember with fondness, those candy dots on paper…I hated eating paper that stayed stuck to the backs, but that was the price to pay for sweet treats back then. I really need to get over my perfection ideal….a quilt can be lovely with raw edges…not everything needs to be hand sewn and appliqued….fusibles will work fine….I could churn out more quilts with that kind of thinking. THanks for the lovely inspiration of circles…I do love orbs!
